“…In contrast to our results, Chang et al revealed that the pelvic oor muscle strength (PFMS) in stress UI group was lower than that of no stress UI group using pelvic oor sEMG (24). Other studies also exhibited the importance of PFMS in the prevention for UI (25)(26)(27), and strengthening the PFMS through PFM training was indeed a great method to improve UI both in pregnancy and postpartum period (28-30). PFM is activated to compress the urogenital structures towards the pubic symphysis to counter the sudden increase of abdominal pressure, and thus prevent the happening of UI (31).…”

Objectives To evaluate the role of pelvic floor electrophysiological parameters in the prediction of urinary incontinence for women in early postpartum period using pelvic floor surface electromyography. Methods This retrospective study included 19462 participants who visited Fujian Maternity and Child Health Hospital from March 2020 to February 2022. All participants were assessed by medical professionals for general information and pelvic floor surface electromyography. Results Multivariate logistic regression showed that age, body mass index, parity, vaginal delivery, forceps delivery, and prenatal urinary incontinence had a negative impact on postpartum urinary incontinence (OR 1.027, 95% CI: 1.014–1.040, P < 0.001, OR 1.079, 95% CI: 1.062–1.096, P < 0.001, OR 1.206, 95% CI: 1.090–1.335, P < 0.001, OR 4.756, 95% CI: 4.136–5.469, P < 0.001, OR 6.056, 95% CI: 4.629–7.921, P < 0.001, and OR 3.219, 95% CI: 2.918–3.551, P < 0.001, respectively) Conclusions We didn’t find any relationship between the parameters of pelvic floor surface electromyography and urinary incontinence, but there was a negative impact of age, body mass index, parity, vaginal delivery, forceps delivery, and prenatal urinary incontinence on postpartum urinary incontinence.
